Assessment of Development Objective and Design, and of Quality at Entry 3.1 OriginalObjective: The objective of the project was to increase production and productivity over a wide area of degraded red soils in the provinces of Jiangxi, Fujian, Hunan, Zhejiang, and the Guangxi Autonomous Region; to help alleviate poverty by increasing the income of currently underemployed farmers; and to benefit the environment by improving soil and water conservation, reducing erosion and promoting sustainable land use and agricultural practices. These objectives were in line with the Government's long-term strategies and policies for the agricultural sector as formulated in the early nineties which sought to increase production to meet the requirements created by population growth and to increase income and employment in rural areas. In addition, the objective supported the Bank Group's agricultural sector strategy, as defined in the 1993 CAS, to promote sustainable agricultural development in impoverished and environmentally vulnerable areas and increase and diversify agricultural production. The objectives of the project were clear and well-formulated. They were well designed, consistent with Borrower's and Bank Group's overall strategy at the time of preparation, and supported by the project's stakeholders. 3.2 Revised Objective: The original project objectives remained unchanged. 3.3 Original Components: The project design focused on the transformation of degraded wasteland and semi-wasteland into a productive, sustainable agricultural resource. It built largely on the experience gained under the first 'Red Soils Area Development Project' (Credit 1733-CHA) and centered around a comprehensive development of micro-watersheds with integrated land development, infrastructure, crop and livestock development, buildings, machinery, rural energy, research, training and TA. In addition to this watershed development part of the project, an agro-processing component was designed to utilize and add value to the output of farmers assisted by the project and to increase employment. Specifically, the project had the following 11 original components: (1) Land Development (costs including contingencies US$41.27 million - 13.9% of total). This component lays the foundation of the micro-watershed development by developing land both, on the slopes, mainly through terracing and soil conservation measures, and in the valleys, through the improvement of drainage of paddy fields. The component planned for 22,229 ha of new terrace development and 2,498 ha of terrace rehabilitation, including 21,647 ha of grass/soil conservation measures. In addition, 10,712 ha of paddy rehabilitation plus some bamboo and fishpond development were included. (2) InfrastructureDevelopment (US$32.22 million - 10. 9%). This component was focusing on irrigation for both, upland fields and orchards and lowland paddy fields. The construction of storage facilities such as small reservoirs and ponds, as well as raising of small dams, pumping stations, distribution systems such as pipes and canals, and sprinkler are part of the construction plan. Specifically, the component included the improvement of about 10,700 ha of existing paddy land, and the provision of dry-season irrigation for about 23,700 ha of upland orchards, and fodder and other annual field crops. In addition to the irrigation infrastructure, the component aimed at meeting the additional power requirement for irrigation, agro-processing and domestic lighting by installing transmission lines, and at linking project sites to the existing network of paved country roads by constructing and upgrading about 1,036 km of all-weather gravel roads (class IV standards). In September 2001, about SDR8.052 million of the Credit were allocated to a new 'Inner Mongolia Snowstorm Emergency Recovery Component' (IMSERC) (see Chapter 10). This Component is still under implementation and not part of this ICR. - 2 - (3) Buildings (US$24.24 million - 8.2%). About 623,600 square meters of buildings (excluding those for agro-processing) were planned under this component. This included farmsteads for new settlers (22%), offices, workshops, storage and warehouses, and service and extension centers (16%), and buildings for pigs and other livestock (64%). (4) Machinery and Vehicles (US$14.33 million - 4.8%). This component was designed to provide vehicles to supplement existing fleets to meet the expected demand for transporting project inputs and agricultural produce, including 204 trucks of 5- to 8-ton capacity, 304 trucks of 1.5- to 2-ton capacity and some insulated or refrigerated vans and milk tankers. The design also included the provision of small farm machinery such as two-wheel tractors and power pesticide foggers to specialized contractor households. (5) Crop Establishment (US$92.80 million - 31.3%). This component was designed to provide complete crop establishments in all parts of the micro-watershed under development. About 16,464 ha of fruit trees were planned, most of which peach and plum, citrus (including rehabilitation), chestnut, and longan, lychee and ginkgo. This area was also used for inter-cropping at the early stage of implementation when trees were still sufficiently small. In addition, the component design included 3,353 ha planted to tea, mulberry or grapes, 10,712 ha of improved paddy on the drained fields in the valleys, 13,755 ha of forests (mostly

Received August 30, 2015; Accepted October 27, 2015; Epub February 15, 2016; Published February 29, 2016 Abstract: Objective: To investigate the filarial specific IgG4 kits in disease surveillance of basic filariasis eliminated and filariasis eliminated area. Methods: filarial specific IgG4 kit was applied in filariasis endemic areas in China. While in some cases, blood were taken at night for microfilaria examination under microscope. Results: In high and middle filariasis endemic areas, results of filarial specific IgG4 in residents were consistent with the results of microfilaria examination results (χ2 = 2.42, χ2 = 1.57, P > 0.05), indicating the detection of filarial-specific IgG4 can reflect local filariasis prevalence levels and the status quo. We detected filarial specific IgG4 in people who birthed before and after substantially eliminated filariasis periods, and the results showed significant difference (χ2 = 17.15, P < 0.05), indicating that in basic filariasis eliminated areas people with positive rate of filarial-specific IgG4 were existed and it showed an increasing trend with aging. We detected filarial specific IgG4 levels in filariasis substan- tially eliminated areas at different times, and the results showed that through years of prevention and monitoring after filariasis substantial elimination, in former filarial endemic areas the filariasis specific IgG4 level decreased in different populations, while the preventive and control effects were solid.

  • An Empirical Analysis of the Satisfaction to the Government on Rural Vocational Education Based on CSI Model
    2019 International Conference on Reform, Technology, Psychology in Education (ICRTPE 2019) An Empirical Analysis of the Satisfaction to the Government on Rural Vocational Education Based on CSI Model Huijun Liu, Nianqing Tang, Ying Zhu Hunan Biological and Electromechanical Polytechnic, Changsha, Hunan Province, China Keywords: CSI model; rural vocational education; satisfaction Abstract: The paper did an empirical analysis of the satisfaction to the government on the supply of rural vocational education. The results show that in recent years, by vigorously developing rural vocational education, the overall satisfaction to the government's rural vocational education supply has reached a relatively high level. 1. Introduction CSI (Customer Satisfaction Index) is a new economic Index used in many countries, which is mainly used to evaluate the quality of economic output. It is also a very hot and frontier topic in the field of quality and economy in China. Since the 1990s, many countries have carried out the test and assessment of CSI to improve the competitiveness of their enterprises. Sweden was the first to establish a national customer satisfaction index in 1989, known as SCSB (Swedish customer satisfaction barometer). Since then, the United States and the European Union have successively established their own customer satisfaction indexes -- ACSI (American customer satisfaction index, 1994) and ECSI (European customer satisfaction index, 1999). In addition, countries such as New Zealand, Canada and the Taiwan region have also established customer satisfaction indexes in several important industries. CSI model (customer satisfaction index model) is a mathematical model of statistical index reward quantified by customer satisfaction, aiming to reflect the differences between customers' expectation of products or services and their actual feelings.

We applied the Input-Oriented Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method and the Malmquist Index Model to estimate the efficiency of PHCIs in 86 counties in Hunan Province from 2009 to 2017. Then, the Tobit model was used to estimate the factors that influence the efficiency of PHCIs. Since the implementation of the new health-care reform in 2009, the number of health resources in PHCIs in Hunan Province has increased significantly, but most counties’ PHCIs remain inefficient. The efficiency of PHCIs is mainly affected by the total population, city level, the proportion of health technicians and the proportion of beds, but the changes in per capita GDP have not yet played a significant role in influencing efficiency.
